Matt wants to contribute to the holiday decorations. They’ve all come out of Patrick’s storage. Matt wants to add his touch to the festivities.
“I could buy us reindeer,” he offers.
Patrick stares at him. “What?”
“Rent them, I mean. For the season. We could have them in the yard. Do you think the kids would like that?”
“Reindeer? Like, plastic reindeer?”
“No, real reindeer. What fun would plastic reindeer be?”
“Hmm,” says Patrick carefully. “I love that idea but I think that might be a bit much.”
“You think plastic reindeer would be enough?”
“I do.”
“Boring,” says Matt.
